High quality fish and chips . Well balanced seasoning and a great variety of sauces . Service (mostly Italians) was really kind.

Valerie Ottenburgs

Really loved this place, I always try tot go there when going tot the AB or Brussels. Great price for value and nice and great service!

Bekir Ozbay

Great food for reasonable price. Cozy atmosphere with good service . Every bit of fish and sauce is great, but I'm in love with the chips and garlic truffle sauce . Great choice for a quick meal .

Heinie Brian Hartendorp

Since this restaurant only served sustainable fish , we had to try EVERYTHING.We had the panko & tempura fish (allocated for that day) plus the sides of shrimps , squid , & calamari.PERFECTO! 10/10!

Didem T.

Perfect location for a quick lunch by Grote Markt. The staff was very friendly and fast, also very delicious fish and chips ! You should definitely try the garlic truffle sauce .

Okan Caliskan

Lemon & Fennel Panko is amazing. Very good and fast service , great stuff and good sauces. What else you want? Oh yes, great beer and free wifi too.

Francesco

Simply delicious. Great service, great food and nice beers . If you are up for a quick lunch this is definitely a very good choice. They have good beers too.

Robin Bertels

Not just excellent fish and chips . Great selection of craft beers too.

Troy Lambrecht

Superb delicious food in a wooden box! It's a cosy, but busy place so you might need to wait a little bit to be able to enjoy your meal, but it's definitely worth the wait! 😋

Grace

Really good fish and chips ! If you're not planning to eat much, consider to share because the portion is quite big. Enjoyed mexican a lot, slightly spicy . 👍🏻

John Williams

Fish and chips without most of the downsides. Chips with skins. The fish is fresh, well prepared with panko breadcrumbs for taste and to reduce oil retention. Homemade sauces . Expats wil love it!

Nikki Barrager

I've been there quite a few times. They have a very flexible menu, their quantity is huge for 1 person, their food is really delicious and the staff is wonderful! And don't forget the wifi ! =)

Stefan Teixeira

Really loved this place. I ordered the Mexican one from the menu and it is incredible, the spices are great and the sauce is amazing. Chips are great as well . Service is very friendly too.

Despoinis Vatomouro

Best fish & chips I had out of UK so far! Total worth every cent. For Greeks, try classic panko with garlic truffle sause, as it reminds a bit of "βακαλάο σκορδαλιά"!!

Michelle Choong

The fish and chips here is amazing. Tried the Classic Panko and Lemon Basil Tempura . Love both the tatar and garlic truffle sauce .

Lesley Mathews

Food was amazing! Garlic truffle sauce is the best regardless of which fish you try. I had the Mexican and would recommend if you like spicy . Service was great! Definitely a must to eat!!

Lara Marie

Incredible food and friendly staff ! Garlic truffle sauce IS the best, and I also really like the Arancini . Only downside: no coffee ! 😭

Carry It Like Harry

BEST Fish and Chips in town ! Even comes with mashed peas ! 10 EUR for the traditional fare, but do try their Malaysian-inspired version and the Japanese-tempura version. Great food for when it rains!

José João Martins

Fast service , no worries about the queue. Fish is fresh and tasty. Liked the fried potatoes ! Only remark: fish portions are small comparing to fries . Brussels brewed beer . Excellent smiling service.

Cynthia vander Have

Been a while I went here and wanted to go back which is a VERY good sign! One year later: still as delicious fish and chips ! However... had to wait 20'... bit long for the daily special ...

S Marks The Spots

Excellent sustainable fish n’ chips restaurant . Try the haddock with homemade tartar sauce/garlic truffle sauce and seaweed salted potato wedges together with a side of delish mashed mint peas . Read more

Justine G

Delicious! Preferred the tempura to the panko , but the garlic truffle sauce was better than the homemade tartare sauce . Everything was delicious, though!

【 @tin_fish 】

this place is an absolute find. delicious and unique interpretations of the traditional dish . garlic truffles , mint mushy peas are a must. friendly service , great food. look no further dear reader…

Hilton Takahashi

Excellent food and a friendly staff ! The fishes are really good and the fish tacos were a great surprise! If you are tired of the regular fries you won't regret to try their chips !!

emma margaret

Do you think fish & chips is greasy junk food? You're wrong. The basil & lemon fish with garlic truffle is downright luxurious . While you're at it, spike your mint lemonade & make it a party.

Gnilnew

Great fish and chips not sure if it was a snackbar or a restaurant . Guess something in between. I liked the truffle mayonaise best! Good place to go.

Nicole Forbes

Best fish and chips you will ever taste. Great service. Don't worry if you see a crowd, food is fresh and served fast

Fototineke

Try the homemade Strawberry & Basil lemonade . The battered fish and Irish chips are also great value for your money.

Tomáš Novák

Great sauces, friendly service and one of the best fish and chips I have ever tasted, great prices as well . If you are in city you have to go there.

Flavia Jordan

My new favorite in the neighborhood ! Small but solid menu paired with great sauces. Great for takeaway as it fills up quickly. Do not miss while in Brussels.

Alexandra Roumans

Great fish & chips with a twist. Try the Moroccan-style fish if you like a spicy dish . Fries with extra truffle sauce are a must.

Was skeptical when we see the restaurant 😅 but we decided to try anyway. Best seasoning fish i ever try 👍 this is a different kind of Fish and Chips 😍

Dave Powell

Every aspect of my meal was excellent. The fish was tasty and cooked perfectly. The homemade chips were uncommonly satisfying. The service was great.

JT

Awesome new gourmet fish & chips restaurant with dishes like Cajun Pollock, Thai Green Prawns , Chunky chips flavoured with seaweed salt or red onion & balsamic salt. Very reasonably priced.

Pauline Tamer

Same concept as fish and chips ! Very delicious, special chicken ! One of the best I have eaten in Brussels.

Elif

Simple menu, just 3-4 types of fish and chips but these guyz pull it! Extremely delicious both fish and dippings . Very very gentile, helpful staff .

Emily D.

If a quick greasy meal is an occasional indulgence, skip the fast food joints and kebab shops rife in the area and head here instead. Scrumptious fish and chips , huge servings, and free wifi too.

Raghad S.M.

It was one of the best fish and chips that I've ever tried. The garlic truffle sauce was amazing. Highly recommended!

Fototineke

Try the homemade Strawberry & Basil lemonade . It's delicious. The fish and Irish chips are also great value for your money.

Brunno Borges

People who work here are kind and polite. The atmosphere is outstanding so is the food! Not expensive either

Sofia Galego

If you live fish and chips this is the place. Always crowded at lunch and dinner , avoid that! Fish is just delicious. 🐟 🍟 🍻

Walah

Best fish and chips I’ve ever tried! and the garlic truffle sauce is a must. Definitely i will come again

inhkie

Place is nice, staff is super friendly and the spuds & sauces delicious; mind you that the tempura batter fish I had was VERY oily... and I have a strong stomach.

Zuzana Sokolová

The best Fish Tacos I have ever tried.. If you like spicy food , grab one, its heaven!

Ahmet İpkin

The food is quite nice! You have to wait a little, because this place is usually full but it really deserves it! Take anything, all is nice :)

Leo DW8R

12€ for the Special of the Day. Today it was pollock with a Jamaican crust and Jalapeño and lime sauce . Also some new wine to try!
